LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Mt. Konocti Facilitation and Wells Fargo – California’s top small business lender – announced today that Mt. Konocti Facilitation, a California nonprofit public benefit corporation, received a $50,000 grant from Wells Fargo in support of their Extreme Business Makeover Program for Lake County.


Mt. Konocti Facilitation will use the Wells Fargo grant to offer selected Lake County businesses a comprehensive business makeover – a no risk opportunity to help local businesses grow and thrive. The selected businesses will receive guidance and support from a team of business owners, industry leaders and category experts.


The group will work closely with business owners and their team, uncovering opportunities to increase sales, improve cash flow, strengthen operations, enhance training and grow profits.


“Wells Fargo understands the important role that Mt. Konocti Facilitation plays in increasing the productivity and efficiency of small businesses,” said Greg Morgan, Wells Fargo Regional President. “This effort will help strengthen local small businesses, and through our grant, Wells Fargo is supporting this effort to help local businesses become more successful.”


Progress will be monitored and documented during the course of the program to show how targeted assistance can make a positive impact and increase job retention and creation for Lake County businesses. Targeted participants will include small and micro businesses, low and moderate income populations, minority, veterans, disabled and or women-owned businesses.


Mt. Konocti Facilitation, a grass roots economic development organization, has provided assistance opportunities for entrepreneurs and existing businesses in Lake County over the past five years.


“In being awarded this important grant, Mt. Konocti Facilitation will be providing expanded and unique services for six businesses over the next two years,” said Mt. Konocti Facilitation Chair, Melissa Fulton. “This program was made possible with the support of principal funders such as Wells Fargo,” said Fulton,” and is in addition to continuing our regular services for our existing clients.”


A Web site will be launched soon where interested applicants can find additional information and can download an application to be considered for the program through a selection committee.

A California nonprofit public benefit corporation, Mt. Konocti Facilitation is able to accept funding from other non-profit economic development organizations, government programs and economic development grants, along with tax-deductible donations from corporations, businesses, foundations, organizations and private citizens.
